Alice James Books is a nonprofit cooperative poetry press, founded in 1973 by five women and two men. Their objectives were to give women access to publishing and to involve authors in the publishing process. They remain true to that mission and to publishing a diversity of poets, including beginning and established poets, and a diversity of poetic styles. The press is named for Alice James—the sister of novelist Henry James and philosopher William James—whose fine journal and gift for writing were unrecognized within her lifetime. Since 1994, the press has been affiliated with the University of Maine at Farmington.
